WORKSHOP GOALS
st

The Iranian Music Heritage Movement (IMHM) is organizing its 1 Composer Workshop in collaboration with the Brunel
Universitys Institute for Contemporary Middle-Eastern Music (BICMEM), London. This collaboration aims to (i) record and award
contemporary music of the highest quality and widen creative perspectives; (ii) encourage the creation of new repertoire and to raise
interest on the usage of traditional Persian instruments within a Western-type ensemble; and (iii) offer a networking event that brings
together the current music/research community to foster cross-cultural experiences.
